Package: libc6-dev Version: 2.3.5-13 Severity: wishlist Linux 2.6.12 added two new resource limits, RLIMIT_NICE and RLIMIT_RTPRIO. In order for apps and libraries (such as pam) to take advantage of this, glibc should export the definitions.
A patch for this has been commited to upstream glibc cvs. http://sourceware.org/ml/glibc-cvs/2005-q2/msg00434.html and http://sourceware.org/ml/glibc-cvs/2005-q2/msg00445.html It would be very nice if debian could backport these patches into the current libc6-dev package so that other packages (such as pam) could enable these features in the near term without taking the somewhat hackish step of providing their own definitions of RLIMIT_NICE and RLIMIT_RTPRIO. -- System Information: Debian Release: testing/unstable APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Kernel: Linux 2.6.16-rc2-g7a21ef6f-dirty Locale: LANG=en_US, LC_CTYPE=en_US (charmap=ISO-8859-1) Versions of packages libc6-dev depends on: ii libc6 2.3.5-13 GNU C Library: Shared libraries an ii linux-kernel-headers 2.6.13+0rc3-2 Linux Kernel Headers for developme Versions of packages libc6-dev recommends: ii bcc [c-compiler] 0.16.14-1.2.0.1.pure64 16-bit x86 C compiler ii gcc [c-compiler] 4:4.0.2-2 The GNU C compiler ii gcc-3.3 [c-compil 1:3.3.6-12 The GNU C compiler ii gcc-3.4 [c-compil 3.4.5-2 The GNU C compiler ii gcc-4.0 [c-compil 4.0.2-8 The GNU C compiler -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
